Kate asked, "Will you promise me that you"ll let me go?"Max just said, "Sure. I promise."
Kate kinda didn"t trust Max, especially at times like this, so she was about to say, "But--"
"Even if you tell him and get out of here. They will kill you if word gets out. You know who they are, and they can hunt you for decades. And it"s not sure that he"ll keep his word. He might kill you after you tell him everything." Gerard interrupted. He knew Kate will tell Max sooner or later. Gerard also knew that both of them are going to die today. So he at least wanted to make sure that Max suffers even if they both die.
Selena clawed at Gerard"s chest because he interrupted in the middle.
Kate hearing this turned pale. And she decided that she"s not gonna say another word, and kept quiet.
Max watching this knew that there is a bigger story to this. So he asked Kate, "Are you gonna tell me or not?"
Kate said, "How can I trust that you"ll let me go?"
Max knew that he won"t get his way with her, so he dragged Gerard out of the mountain ash circle and poured only a little bit of gasoline on Gerard making him half wet and lit him up. Gerard was screaming and shouting. He wasn"t entirely covered so he couldn"t even burn quickly to die. He was suffering, he was suffering badly. The pain and agony only came as screams through his mouth.
Max at this time poured a similar amount of gasoline at Kate and told her, "You"ll end up the same way as him. Even he"s begging to end his life, but I won"t kill him. He"ll be alive for hours and still burn like this."
Max paused to look at Kate. Kate was frightened while she was watching Gerard screaming for death. Max again continued, "So what"s it gonna be, Kate? Are you gonna speak or not?"
Kate looked at Max with fear filled eyes. She never in her dreams did she think that there will come a day when a little mistake in the past will haunt her to death.
Max looked at Kate and said, "I know you were also innocent like every other kid, and that you were just manipulated by Gerard. So Aunt, just tell me what I wanna know and you can leave. I won"t chase you after this, I swear on mine and Selena"s life."
Hearing this Kate was a bit hopeful, "Yes, Max. It was Gerard. It was him who took the deal."

Max nodded and told her to continue so she explained her story, "From centuries, vampires, witches, Hunters and other legions have been hunting werewolves, because werewolf bite to any Supernatural creature other than were-creatures are deadly to them. And that an Alpha"s bite to a human can turn them into worries. So they"ll never be extinct and remain a threat to everyone. So someone decided to put an end to them. But there were many opposing then, especially the Hunters. Saying that this will destroy the natural balance of the world.
That person didn"t take that answer well, so they started a search, and soon found werewolves that are pure. Their bite isn"t poisonous to other supernatural creatures, and they can"t turn humans by biting. They can only reproduce by the natural way. That person used this as an excuse saying that they can hunt every other werewolves except for this one, by this was the natural balance won"t be broken, people still didn"t agree to this, but secretly several people like Gerard agreed to this, our only orders were kill all the betas and omegas and capture the Alphas. They paid for every captured Alpha, And even paid for every kill we made, all we needed were proof that they"re Werewolf. And Selena"s family was just one of the many that had been hunted."
As a Hunter, Max knew that there were other Supernatural creatures, but he didn"t expect that there"d be witches and vampires. He kinda felt familiar hearing this, but he decided to ask about it later, "So who"s the one that started all this?"
Kate replied, "I don"t know who, but whenever we capture any Alpha, someone from Volturi"s faction will come to collect them."
As soon as Max heard this, he started gasping for breath. Because he knows about Volturi, not from his father or from other Hunters, but from his last life. He had seen that movie "Twilight" over and over again. Max couldn"t believe what was happening. He only expected to be in Teen Wolf in Beacon Hills, now he remembered that G.o.d saying that the world is not limited to Beacon Hills. But he didn"t expect it to be like this. He suddenly thought any something and asked Kate, "Do you know about Mikaelsons?"
Kate hearing this shuddered, "Where did you hear that name? They"re the vampires they existed from over a thousand years. One of the progenitors of vampires?"
Max was confused, "What do you mean "one of the progenitors"?"
Kate said, "There are other vampires that don"t belong to them. You see the Volturi, their ancestor is the Dracula himself. There are many others, but they don"t let themselves known."
Max was not thoroughly agitated hearing everything. He thought to himself, (So there are many ancestors of vampires like every other movie. If that"s true then I really have to check it out soon.)
Max observed all the information in and said, "Thanks Aunt Kate. You can go." And he erased some of the mountain ash circle.
Kate saw this and was instantly happy and ran out with all her speed.
Max then turned to Selena and said, "You can burn her now."
Selena held Gerard"s leg and threw him at Kate who was running. Kate stumbled to the ground and shouted through the fire, "You promised, MAX!!"
Max heard this and said, "Are you a kindergarten kid? Who"d believe promises at times like this. And to tell the truth I did keep my promise. I didn"t chase you, I let you leave. But I didn"t say that Selena will let you leave. You think you"ll walk free after you killed her family?"
Kate and Gerard were screaming from the fire. Max went to them and poured more gasoline on them. And turned to Selena and said, "See Selena, I fulfilled my promise to you."
Selena watching this was a bit teary and came near Max. Max just hugged her and stood there.

While all this was happening there. Near the border of Beacon Hills, Peter came in running in his Alpha form.
